Audix Unveils the PDX720 Signature Edition at NAMM 2023: The new gold standard of dynamic vocal microphones

Professional Dynamic Studio Microphone Excels on Vocals, Drums and Musical Instruments

Anaheim, CA (April 13, 2023) — At NAMM 2023 Booth #14702, Audix is very proud to introduce the PDX720 professional dynamic studio microphone, a top-notch addition that expands its current studio microphone portfolio. The PDX720 is designed for the most demanding studio recording engineers and producers, vocal recording, high-end home studios, professional podcasting and voiceover.

The PDX720 excels on lead and backing vocals and spoken word applications. Its sound signature finds its roots from the AUDIX distinctive ability to produce natural, smooth vocals with great low-end extension, even without active filtering.

The microphone’s standard default gain level eliminates the need for preamp boosts or cloud lifters. The PDX720 also features two unique three-position switches that enable users to quickly modify sound by adjusting the low cut and presence boost, minimizing the need for complex sound mixing adjustments.

“My favorite setting was with all the switches in the ‘off’ position, vocals sounded more natural and it gives you a great template to mix, very smooth on the top, great low-end extension without being boomy; it’s very pleasant sounding, “

says JC Fredrickson, Audio Engineer/Theater Technician.

Beyond its excellence in vocal recording, the PDX720 is also a natural choice for drum and instrument recording, with its warm low-end tones and clear, defined highs which produce great clarity without sounding harsh. The versatility of the PDX720 make is a must have for studio professionals and home recording applications.

“Having one microphone that excels in many sources is a plus” adds JC Fredrickson, Audio Engineer/Theater Technician.
